More quotes by Ron Fournier

Ron Fournier
Election night is the easiest time to act like a grownup.
Ron Fournier

Ron Fournier
Palin seems to have forgotten that her poll ratings have plummeted since the summer of 2011.
Ron Fournier
Since declaring that she would not serve in a second Obama administration, Clinton has dismissed suggestions that she will run in 2016.
Ron Fournier
You can almost see voters nodding their heads at home: The public's faith in politicians and political institutions has been on a steep and dangerous decline for decades, because elected leaders fail to deliver.
Ron Fournier
Clearly, the Obama presidency hasn't wiped out racial prejudices.
Ron Fournier
I'm hearing echoes of Bill Clinton, circa 1996, in President Obama's reelection rhetoric.
